Got Mark O'Connor CD of this name today. Fabulous. Also put in order for Kevin Burke "If the Cap Fits" which is collector item, a bit difficult to find.
Had an hour-long fiddle lesson today. Resolved to get those Irish tunes memorized - it takes time. From there to coffee house where Beam Reach was finishing up their last set, sat in on a couple of their original numbers (Thanks Richard!).
Time to engage more in the fiddle. Tomorrow at Columbia Grounds there is a Bluegrass Jam running 10:30 to 2:00 PM. Sunday evening at Keegan's there is an Irish music session from 6 PM until close, recommended by my teacher.
List of Irish tunes to be located and posted here later.
Stopped over at Natalie's dorm, her laptop evidently has a dead hard drive. Left a copy of Knoppix 4.0 which boots up the Linux operating system and helps tide her over for a while.
Home now, pile to sort through in 'in box' to keep that part of the work up to date, and then on to the violin stuff. Looking forward to it.
Oh yes, also was asked for contact info today at the coffeehouse by someone interested in having violin on some of the songs that their group does (original composition). Good start.
All for 5:43 PM. About 11 F outside.
Great Django/Grappelli video here.
